Former railway path, Carrickfergus
There was a path running, between the railway and Shaftesbury Park, from St Bride’s Street towards Barn station. It seemed to fall into disuse over a number of years as it became overgrown. The fence now blocks access to it.

Barn railway station (2)
See Image The condition of the Belfast - Larne line had deteriorated considerably but it was to be almost another 20 years before the permanent way was entirely renewed. The track at the closed Barn station was not untypical of the line as a whole. It was only when I scanned this slide that I realised just how bad it had been. The station no longer exists Image The view is towards Belfast.
